Divemaster Training in Koh Tao

Koh Tao’s leading Academy for Divemaster Training

Has the discovery of scuba diving unlocked your senses for the underwater world? Does a good dive put a spring in your step and make you feel really alive? Would you like to trade a working day in an office for one on a boat, in a classroom and underwater? If you’re ready to take scuba diving to a level beyond a pastime or  just a holiday activity, you may be interested in moving your career underwater by becoming a diving professional. There are many rungs on the professional ladder, but it all begins with the divemaster training as the first step towards professional diving. During your time as a divemaster trainee (DMT), you will learn about different aspects of scuba diving and the diving industry as such, than you have learned in your previous diving courses until today. You will be taking scuba diving to the next level!

What does a Divemaster do?

First of all; divemasters help customers! A divemaster generally has a great variety of responsibilities ranging from resort based activities to boat and dive shop based tasks, but best of all a PADI divemaster dives a lot!

As a PADI Divemaster you can expect to be involved in:

• ‘Meeting and Greeting’ customers
• Coordinating divers’ requirements such as dive site requests and maximum depth allowances
• Managing the dive roster, spare kit and first aid on board
• Assisting diving instructors with their courses during confined and open water sessions
• And, of course, guiding scuba divers underwater

Additionally, if you are working at a dive resort, you may become involved in other aspects of the scuba diving business such as equipment sales and presentation in the dive shop, showing new arrivals to there rooms. If you’re working on a liveaboard boat, your duties could involve working behind the bar or in the kitchen, or even driving a boat by yourself. Often it is pretty much up to you as to how much you want to take on when you work as a divemaster.
